heart beat

When I had my monthly check-up yesterday, I had to wait for more than an hour for my turn to be called in the doctor's room. I know it was my fault because I came in later than my schedule, but I really can't help my self. I felt so disappointed that I had to wait for such a long time, with the fact that there are no good magazines to read and that they're watching the rival network of what I watch on TV.

Anyway, around fifteen minutes before I was called, my spouse came from the house (the clinic is walking distance from the house) to accompany me to the doctor. When it was finally my turn, I felt relieved that I'm not alone in my pre-natal check up and the one beside me is the same man who was with me in making this baby.

The doctor's assistant then asked me to lie down after a few questions from the doctor. She used a doppler device (I'm not sure if it's indeed called that way) over my lower abdomen. I was almost teary eyed when I heard my little angel's heart beat for the first time. It was such an overwhelming experience that I want to tell my baby that I can't wait to see him/her.

The doctor had a few reminders and even gave me a prescription for my cough and colds, as well as my UTI. I thanked him for his help but I was like floating on the clouds as I think of that wonderful experience of hearing my baby's heart beat for the first time.
